Read in the CPDV: Psalm 25 (24 in the Vulgate)
34But the Pharisees, hearing that he had caused the Sadducees to be silent, came together as one.
35And one of them, a doctor of the law, questioned him, to test him:
36“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
37Jesus said to him: “‘You shall love the Lord your God from all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
38This is the greatest and first commandment.
39But the second is similar to it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
40On these two commandments the entire law depends, and also the prophets.”

In US parishes the readings are proclaimed from the NABRE; the text shown here is the Catholic Public Domain Version.
Old Testament readings and the psalm are listed with a link to their chapter: the US Lectionary numbers some of their verses differently from the CPDV, so their text is not printed here. Psalm citations keep the Lectionary’s Hebrew numbering; the CPDV numbers the Psalms as the Vulgate does.
